Throughout the Caribbean Islands, Islanders used to go to local salt ponds to harvest sea salt by hand when needed n the household.
Salt ponds are common to most islands as the brackish waters are shallow, receive lots of sun and are free of pollution. These ponds are undisturbed by humans and boaters.
Sea salt flourishes in these conditions and has since the beginning of time. The wind and sun evaporate the ocean water, leaving mineral- rich brine to concentrate.
Local hand processors briskly stimulate this live mixture and dazzling salt crystals form.
Sea Salt at Caribbean Reef Sea Salt & Spice Company has much lower sodium chloride content than common table salt.
Sea Salt is a product of Haiti, West Indes.
